Five Ways to Spot a Gamer

18 Mar, 2011 | Written by Spaz | under Computers Etc., Funny

So, you’re all alone this weekend in a strange city. Your bored and you don’t want to watch T.V. in your hotel room. You have your game capable laptop and you want to do a little friendly 1 on 1 action on your favorite FPS game, and maybe have some drinks with someone. Point being, you don’t want to be alone.

So, you’re walking around the hotel, looking for someone else just like you. But you are nervous. The last time you approached someone she thought you were hitting on her so she slapped you and told you she didn’t want to talk to a nerd like you. It made you recoil into your basement for years.

How do you spot a gamer? Here are five things that might just help you.

1. Horrible Fashion Sense – Do their pants not quite cover their ankles? Are their glasses badly fitted and too big for their face? Is their T-Shirt old, stained, and feature some sort of anime picture? Likely they are a gamer.

2.Diet – Have you noticed them drinking a staggering amount of alcohol? Pizza pops as a main dish and chips, pretzels and other munchies their only source of sustenance? Likely, they are a gamer.

3.State of Health – Slim, muscular, walk with a bound in their step with fluid, cat like motions? Likely, not a gamer. Too skinny, too fat, not a hint of muscle anywhere (except maybe the wrist), yea, you probably have yourself a gamer.

4.Nervous Tick – do they constantly glance at their watch, fiddle with something, shift nervously like they are missing something and your pretty sure it’s not crack cocaine? Yea, they might be a gamer.

5.Do they seem oblivious to the world around them? If they mention politics to they mention a guild in WoW? Hot dang! Someone that likes playing games.

I hope I’ve helped you. Now go out there and meet your brethren.
